(Knock knock knock)

A woman with a military belt around her waist entered the room and saluted General Zhang after knocking on the door.

The woman in a cheongsam picked up the hint from her sharp gaze. She smiled graciously and left the room.

The attendant took a quick assessing glance at the female soldier before leaving the room, noticing the female soldier had a slim waist. Her belt had almost gone two circles around her waist. It was very likely that she had an alluring figure under the military uniform!

“I shall excuse myself.” The woman closed the door as she took her leave.

The female soldier did not turn around. However, she harrumphed after the woman left the room.

Was every woman so shameless nowadays? Weren’t they ashamed of staying in a man’s room for so long in the middle of the night?

“Is there a problem?” General Zhang asked her.

“No, sir,” the woman answered.

“Why did you come here then? You should get some rest in your room. We are all worn out from our last mission,” General Zhang chided her.

“Why didn’t you ask that woman to leave sooner, sir?” the woman, Hua Yuezhu, asked him.

“I was asking her about the dragons,” Zhang Xiaohou replied.

“Do they really have dragons?” Hua Yuezhu could barely believe it.

Many merchants liked to boast and exaggerate as part of their marketing strategy, but the real products were often terrible.

“I think so, but they might cost a lot,” Zhang Xiaohou had a slight headache.

Many factions would bid for the dragons, which would surely drive the prices up. Even if they were representing the military, they also had to compete fairly in the bidding. Most importantly, their superiors would not reimburse them too much for it!

“If we had dragons, we wouldn’t have lost to the Evil Hound Ruler last time. The Heavenly Eagles are too weak against a creature like that. They were too scared to fly once they picked up a Ruler-level creature’s presence,” Hua Yuezhu commented.

The military and Hunters had different approaches when they were in the wild.

The Hunters had fewer people, so they could move around more freely. Even if they were in danger, they could split up and regroup again.

The military was different, as their numbers were greater. If they had to avoid demon creatures’ dens all the time, they would waste all their time doing so!

Troops with mounts and tamed beasts were able to roam freely in the wild, as long as they did not encounter brainless species like the Undead. Most demon creatures would back away and avoid contact with troops accompanied by strong beasts.

The tamed beasts were thus crucial to guarantee a smooth journey in the wild for the military’s forces.

Their tamed beasts were able to intimidate the roaming demon creatures with their Auras. When the military did not want to waste time on irrelevant demon creatures, the tamed beasts came in very handy. It saved a lot of their time and energy.

Tamed beasts had stronger physical attributes, too. If the military was tracking down demon creatures, a Wind Mage would often deplete their energy after flying for only one or two hours non-stop, much less than a flying creature.

If the soldiers were in danger, the tamed beasts would react swiftly and escape in the safest directions. The soldiers would not lose their way in the demon creatures’ territory.

Most importantly, their tamed beasts were capable of fighting!

They might lack synergy with the soldiers compared to truly Summoned Beasts, but these tamed beasts were very useful after they were trained properly. They could serve as powerful shields when fighting demon creatures at close distance, and keep stronger enemies busy.

The Heavenly Eagles were the standard tamed beasts for higher-ranked troops. Certain Heavenly Eagles had better lineages, but they were extremely rare.

England had the lead when it came to tamed beasts, especially the renowned clans of dragon tamers. Duchess Ayleen’s clan was a perfect example. They had recently released a piece of shocking news to the world. They had tamed a certain kind of dragon beast and were able to mass-breed it for the militaries and other formidable factions.

Many Advanced Psychic Mages were able to tame one or two draconic beasts, but breeding them and setting up a supply chain to do so on scale involved shockingly advanced magic technology!

The dragon tamer clans of England had set up an exhibition in China. Zhang Xiaohou had come on behalf of the Violet Imperial Battalion as soon as he received the news. If the tamed dragons were suitable for them, he would want to buy some of them to help make his troops stronger!

“I’m just worried these so-called dragons are just lizards mixed with the lineage of some petty dragons. They are exaggerating things to grab the world’s attention. If they are real dragons, wouldn’t it make those clans unbeatable, sir?” Hua Yuezhu spoke up.

“Let’s take a look first. Even if the dragons are crossbreeds with a weak lineage, they are still useful to us,” Zhang Xiaohou answered calmly.

If the soldiers that were often undertaking missions in the wild did not have reliable mounts, they would struggle greatly, regardless of how outstanding their cultivation and numbers were. The cunning demon creatures just had to dig into the mountains and caves. The soldiers would never find them, even if they broke their legs from running around!

“Our mission is so dangerous, but they only gave us such a small amount of funds,” Hua Yuezhu grumbled.

“That’s enough, we are here to rest for several days. We’ll buy the dragons if they are suitable for us, but if we can’t afford them, there’s nothing we can do. We must focus on our mission,” Zhang Xiaohou told her.

“Got it, sir!”

“You may go back now,” Zhang Xiaohou directed her.

Hua Yuezhu saluted with a straight back.

She was a very tall woman, almost Zhang Xiaohou’s height as she leaned forward a little as she was saluting.

Hua Yuezhu left the room and closed the door.

She stumbled into a handsome blond man in the red carpeted corridor. The man was looking her up and down with a mischievous grin.

“Tsk tsk, why didn’t they tell me they were offering special services here?” the man murmured before approaching Hua Yuezhu and asking with a serious face, “How much? Name your price.”

“What do you mean?” Hua Yuezhu did not understand him at first, but she realized something when she saw the perverted look in the man’s eyes. Her face instantly went cold as she snarled, “Prick, you’re asking for your death!”

“Wow, what are you doing!?” the man yelled.

Hua Yuezhu was furious. She had heard some men were looking for all kinds of fantasies. Some of them had a fetish for military outfits, so their prostitutes would dress up like soldiers to fulfill their fantasies.

However, Hua Yuezhu was a real soldier. She would not allow anyone to violate her sacred duty!

She did not care if using spells was forbidden here. She just wanted to blast the perverted man to pieces!

“Holy crap, a Star Constellation right away!?” The man was shocked. He did not expect the woman to complete an Advanced Spell so quickly.

Luckily, the man was a powerful Mage. He waved his hand and Summoned a pond of water to resist the woman’s Advanced Fire Spell!
